For being a great poet!

It's a competition between Portal 2 and Team Fortress 2. In the end it's probably Portal, since I can't play TF2 anymore. It will probably change to Skyrim when I get it though.

Hey ever Big news today. I'll start with what i consider most important. Today, I created a bandcamp page that will host all the staff themes, and also gives a preview of what's to come in the staff theme song album! Here's the page; (note i'm looking for an album cover artist.) Http://mlpforums.bandcamp.com Now next, along with the bandcamp page comes a brand new theme song! This theme song belongs to @@~Chaotic Discord~ and it's unique in it's own excellent way. I hope you all enjoy! Finally, another big announcement, I am going to begin taking music requests! (Posibly commissions if I get bombarded.) That's right, Silver's composing is up for grabs! However keep in mind, as I am still working on the staff themes, I can't garuntee i'll get straight to work on your song. THESE REQUESTS WILL BE SIMPLE. They will likely only have a couple different instruments and tracks. If I start commissions I'll be doing full length songs with more tracks. Otherwise I would rather not have my hands full.

Actually there already is a My Little pony: Friendship is Magic texture pack fr minecraft. In fact there are several. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1390448-131-16x-love-tolerance/ I believe this is the most popular one. It's the one I use.

Banned because this thread brings back so many memories.

6/10 Seen you around quite a bit in Cloudsdale.

3/10 I haven't really seen you much at all. ._.

The cake is a Lyra~!! Okay all silliness aside, here's my story! One day, an adventurer was traveling along. He was interested in creating an MLP:FiM comic but had no idea where to put it. Well, as he was walking he stumbled upon a forum. He was no received. At all. Thus, the adventurer went and google "MLP Forums." He came across the popular internet forum which had only about 1,500 users at the time. (This was in the midst of February.) As he was walking over, he realized something. He was still a closet brony! He didn't want people to recognize him by his usual name, so he had a slight hesitation. He almost didn't join, but his adventuring was put to a halt, when he took a Silver Arrow to the knee!!!! AND THUS. SILVER ARROW. WAS BORN. At first it started as a simple hosting site, he started posting his comic and it progressed at a very slow rate. However then, he discovered after getting 5 posts he could access the glories of the chatroom! His attention drifted from said comic and focused more on the community. He began taking part in forum games and discussions, and especially in the chat. It was from this chat that Silver Arrow made his first friend, and that friend was King K. Roop! Or Swoop! Or Zoop! Okay I have no idea what order it happened but friendships were had. Time progressed nicely and Silver continued to be active, taking part in a very large roleplay called "Shifted," started by the original ruler of the RP World, Arylett Dawnsborough! This roleplay was very extensive and intense. Walls of text pursued! (Unfortunately over time the roleplay ended up dying and got left in the dust.) Now by the time April came around, Silver was very inspired and held a lot of respect for the staff members. So much respect in fact, that he started a project. A project known as the MLP Forums Staff Theme Songs! This project was a lot of fun and is still going now! Many staff members were happy with their themes and they all turned into a great practice for Silver's musical career. Unfortunately this was not to last. Around May Silver began working on a fanfiction called Fractured Spirits. This got a lot of his attention for a little while and he remained regular. However shortly after reaching chapter 5 of this fanfiction, another one was started; this one titled "Keepers." Said fanfiction is still being written. In fact, it's being turned into a full out novel. (Currently 302 pages at the time this post was written.) The story was accidentally made in such a way that it was easily possible to make it work without ponies or the land of Equestria, and it was instead turned into "The Ytrialum Records: Keepers." That start of a possible series of books. Currently, Keepers is on chapter 21 (out of a planned 29 or 30) and it's still being written. However the important part about this was the impact this had on Silver Arrow's forum life. Silver vanished without a word from the forums, for the entire summer, only occasionally popping on when he remembered about it. Either way most of his free time was dedicated to writing. Many important events passed during that time, including staff promotions, the introduction of the recent posts and such at the top, and the character limit. However in the middle of August Silver remembered the forum he had so much fun on! He had watched a podcast that made him miss all the friends he had made on the little community, and he returned with a great resounding HELLO. Silver Arrow: Hello Zoop. Silver Arrow: I have plans for you Zoop. Zoop: Wat This, was the start of Silver's return. (In fact, these plans have yet to be carried out!) Silver came back to the forums, and began working on the staff themes he had never completed. He met many new people including Motion Spark and several others. He began working with Feld0 on a short theme for the forums Minecraft server, which was used in a special advertisement for said server. This theme can be found here: http://soundcloud.com/silverdest/rising-final-version And the video: This was an explosive moment, because Silver Arrow discovered the glorious reality of an instrument set called COLOSSUS. It was mind blowing, and Silver's inspiration soared. (And it's all thanks to Feld0!) Shortly after Silver was happy to be back, but he was struck by something that terrified him. Staff members, began to quit and drop away. Many of which were his friends. Most shattering for him was Arylett's quitting. As a result of this, Silver was greatly disappointed to watch as she left the forums entirely, but with one last hurrah Silver released a live version of her theme as a farewell present. Silver was satisfied with this and waved farewell. Shortly after, Klopp left as well, and Silver began to feel traumatized. Hearing rumors of the forums not lasting much longer and collapsing, Silver panicked and went running to one of his greatest remaining friends; Zoop. In a nutshell, Silver had terrible doubts and Zoop pep talked him to oblivion that things would be alright. [27/09/2012 11:29:44 PM] Zoop: I can tell you with the utmost sincerity [27/09/2012 11:29:59 PM] Zoop: It has been months since I've felt as good about the site and staff as I do right now, at this very moment. [27/09/2012 11:30:22 PM] Zoop: Change happens. You can't stop it. [27/09/2012 11:30:28 PM] Zoop: It comes through like a violent wave. [27/09/2012 11:30:35 PM] Zoop: You can either ride it, or try and fight it. [27/09/2012 11:30:48 PM] Zoop: We're riding it, and learning from it. [27/09/2012 11:31:04 PM] Zoop: Sometimes a wake-up call is what you really need to have your eyes opened. Silver was completely blown away. Inspired even. Silver had more confidence in the forums than he had in a very long time. It was so great, that it sent him into an inspirational streak (That is still somewhat lasting) in which he completed Feld0's theme. An amazing result this was, and he began working on music a lot more, and is currently in the process of creating Chaotic Discord's theme. Which brings us to the new staff members! Silver was shocked by the new staff members. But oh, not by who they were. Silver was shocked at how good they were! They were great choices and many were wise. They had good senses of humor but knew when to be serious and when not to. From here, Silver looked forward to seeing what other staff member they brought in, and the future changes of the MLP Forums that were sure to come, as well as the deluge of members that Season 3 of MLP: FiM would bring! ~~End~~ Happy Birthday MLP Forums! Here's to another great year!

So, yesterday night I decided to make some music because I was bored. Thanks to Chaotic Discord who was showing me some music I was inspired to make some random piano playing. This was the result. http://soundcloud.com/silverdest/classical-piano-one-shot I think it turned out nice. Could have been better but it was just a one shot thing I did on the spot. Expect more music, regarding Chaotic Discord in the near future!
